CRM / Client Management Dashboard UI

π About the Task
Small agencies, freelancers, and B2B service businesses handle multiple:
- leads
- clients
- follow-ups
- internal tasks
Most of them still rely on:
- spreadsheets
- WhatsApp messages
- basic tools not built for agencies
This creates confusion, missed follow-ups, and poor client experience.
Thatβs why modern agencies and startups use CRM (Client Relationship Management) tools to centralize everything in one dashboard.
In this task, you will design a real CRM dashboard UI, similar to what is used in:
- B2B SaaS products
- digital agencies
- consulting firms
- startup sales teams
This is not a student-level UI task β it mirrors real SaaS product UX work.
π― Objective
Your goal is to design a web-based CRM dashboard that helps a small agency:
- track leads across different stages
- manage active clients clearly
- plan tasks and follow-ups
- understand client engagement at a glance
You are designing workflows, not just screens.
π’ Real-World Scenario (Mandatory)
You must design this CRM as if it is built for a real business, such as:
- a digital marketing agency
- a web design / development agency
- a SaaS consulting firm
- a freelancer team handling multiple clients
Example:
βCRM dashboard for a 5-member digital agency managing 30+ clients.β
This makes your portfolio credible and job-ready.
β What Youβll Do
As part of this task, you will:
- Identify agency workflows (lead β client β follow-up)
- Define user roles (owner, team member)
- Structure dashboard layout for daily usage
- Design scalable UI for growing data
- Apply B2B SaaS UX principles
- Explain design choices clearly
This is the same process followed by SaaS UI/UX designers.
π οΈ Design Tools Youβll Use
You may use any one of the following tools:
Core Design Tools
- Figma β https://www.figma.com
- Adobe XD β https://www.adobe.com/products/xd.html
- Framer β https://www.framer.com
Focus on web dashboard UX, not mobile UI.
β¨ Key Screens & Features to Design
Your CRM dashboard should include:
β Lead tracking and client list management
β Visual lead pipeline (status-based stages like New, Contacted, Converted)
β Client profile page with engagement status
β Task tracker with follow-up reminders
β Clean navigation suitable for daily business use
β Scalable layout for large data sets
Optional bonus:
- Analytics / summary cards
- Filters and search
- Activity timeline
